Out of the Loop – An Introduction

Out of the Loop is a series that considers the roles of the socially outcast. This will include, but is not limited to, outsider/folk artists, famed celebrities who exhibit culturally unacceptable behaviors, and surviving victims of extraordinary circumstance. It is my goal not only to tell stories that I myself consider wonderful or fascinating, but to understand how and why it is we are able to look at these figures with such awe. I hope you will enjoy me in my quest to not only learn about the strange world around us, but also, in understanding our own response, to learn about ourselves. Remember this, if you will, that we are all people united by a common uncertainty.
